You just answered that question in a previous post. The Yen slide raised the price of Toyota stock , not car sales . When the yen slide halted , TM began to sink . The stock market works in mysterious ways .
Cigarettes or Toyota ?
Focus tops Corolla as world's best-selling car
Text of the article from The Detroit News:
Buoyed by the Chinese market, Ford Motor Co.'s Focus compact car outsold all other vehicles in 2012 by a wide margin, according to data released today by market researcher R.L. Polk & Co.
The Dearborn automaker sold more than 1 million Focus cars worldwide last year, topping the No. 2 best-seller and perennial sales champion, Toyota Motor Corp.'s Corolla compact car, by more than 147,000 cars.
Ford sells the Focus in more than 100 countries and the car has become a huge success in China. The automaker sold nearly 300,000 Focus cars in China last year, after an all-new Focus made its debut in March. Ford sells two Focus cars in that market — an older-generation, or "Classic" Focus, and the current generation that is sold around the globe.
Ford's F-Series trucks finished third on the 2012 list with 785,630 vehicles sold.
Other vehicles from domestic automakers in the top 10 include Ford's Fiesta subcompact, the sixth-best seller with 723,130 sales, and General Motors Co.'s Chevrolet Cruze compact car, at No. 8 with 661,325 sold.
Chevy Silverado won , Ford F150 was 2nd , Dodge finished 3rd , and Toyota and Nissan finished next to last and last .

Imagine That !
Listen up Blow young mountain boys , I have no idea why you call every poster who takes you to school , " dead ender " but I do know that you voted for your President
and the only certificate he showed you was photo shopped . Hows that 1992 Scamry holding out for Blowboy ?
Would you mind sharing with the board which model your " friend " bought ? But, before you do that post your Passport or Birth Certificate to prove we can trust you .
I heard that their stores dont want their employees to celebrate Easter . This cannot be true . Anyone ?
Lets see, the 1st Impala to be released will be the $ 41,000 model and the 1st Silverado will be the Crew Cab LTZ @ $ 51,000 . So you are thinking that the average gm buyer will be standing in line with a cashier's check or waiting for a $ 850 - $1100 payment book ?
